I just realized how absurd raw astora is, you can't get that onehanded AR on a straightsword (you usually onehand SS) of equal size and identical moveset unless you invest 27 str on a heavy longsword. That's at least 17 str vs 2 faith; you're getting like 15 points of AR at the cost of not being able to further invest in damage. That's pretty good if you weren't going to invest in it anyway.

>Don't waste titanite on armor

There is literally nothing wrong with upgrading your armor after you've upgraded your weapons. Just don't be like DSP and only upgrade armor.

This though, just made me want to pull my hair out. Like seriously, this fucking nigger has played two other Souls game by that point.

This. Armor actually did shit in DaS1. The difference in defense can actually be pretty significant. It's just that your own damage is more important. The best defense, right?

At least +2; I use it and it feels fine.

Probably +3 though. Anyone who picks up the blessed red and white shield +1 will be able to be invaded by you.

+4 is risky but possible; you'd be able to still be invaded by people with +2 weapons, the lowest any invader would have, but I don't know if you'd be able to get quite as many matches as an invader yourself in the settlement. There are enough shards before vordt for players to make a +2 weapon though.

Especially when combined with humanity. I don't know the armor formulas for II and III, but armor is definitely good to have just for the hyper-armor to tank through hits, depending on the weapon you're using.

Oh, and I should add that if you want to have access to the settlement but also still have people invade you in highwall, you need to kill vordt and keep dancer alive, so if you be invadeable and pass vordt while also having gundy's ring you need to be on ng+ or have someone give you the ring

I'm thinking of making a low level faith build for co-op. I can handle not being the best optimised or most viable build ever because I pretty much only play Dark Souls for themed build and RP fun anyway. How've you been finding it, and what areas have you been helping out with? I'm thinking of going for something around level 30 - 40, so I can catch people to play with in Road of Sacrifices, Cathedral of the Deep, Farron Keep, and maybe even high levelled people in Settlement or low levelled people in Catacombs.

Though, I think one problem I have is actually getting hosts to stand still long enough to heal. Doing it in the arena is hard enough, I don't like to think about how difficult it'll be healing a host who won't stop running through the level.

Heals give less to allies than to the user I think, at least it feels that way in the arena. If you use the 35 fai regen spell you'll only have to hit your allies with it once, that might make things work a bit better and gives you access to DMB.

The animation isn't that actually that long. Unless someone on spawn immediately starts sprinting and dash-attacking you will have enough time.

Anywhere from central irithyll and onwards, though that's essentially meta level where you're going to run into a lot of cancer and pro gank squads, just be aware. 60 +6 and below is best.

MLGS

GSoJ has the higher AR, but you have to dump too many points into things other than VIT/END so it really isn't all that great for invasions.

Depends on your build, MLGS is best at 60INT while GSoJ works best with 27/40/40 Quality INT

I haven't tested it, but it generally overwrites any other buff.

I also don't know if the same method works with the DSSS buff. It probably depends on how long you're still stuck in the animation after the buff has been applied.

Block communication on steam usually makes it that I can't invade that person again.

And if you are not afraid of getting your lady hands dirty, learn how to CE yourself. Fuck them up, kill their boss etc

Coming from a hacker this is literally the only thing you can do:
Install CE, download the general table, and turn on the "Prevent Malicious effects/Disable Curse" option or whatever it is called in the current general table. Take note of their name, and the second you see them invade just turn on infinite iframes and curse them. If they also have prevent curse on then you can use the "Add to Black Crystal" option and you can force them to disconnect from your world.

As >>162305861 said, blocking does literally nothing since DS3 doesn't pull from steam's API at all.

>>162306019
In terms of arena the only thing you can do is curse them. If you can't, then don't waste your time and just black crystal out since you can't do it to them in the arena.
>>
>>162306019
Well try blocking him and report back if you ever come across again
>>
>>162306209
And what grinds my gears the Most is that he turned it on at the very end. Of course I'm gonna notice you took no damage partial parrying a jump attack
>>
>>162306182
Is there actually no repercussions for people using CE in online play in das3? While in das2 people got shadowbanned just for using a fix for fucking weapons losing durability twice as fast at 60fps.
>>
>>162306182

Easier to just do invasions at SL60 and below and avoid the hackers almost completely. Hackers are mainly at meta levels on PC.

You still can get banned in the same way as DS2, but they actually notify you when you start the game that you have been banned instead of shadowbanning. Same things ban you like directly editing souls/level/dropping impossible items but that's basically all that can get you banned. And because of how easy it is to circumvent the ban system (ie family share) there is literally no point to the ban system at all.

>>162306397
You get them throughout, but I will say meta level has the most of them.

Ok, that answers that question. Spell load out, fireball, combustion (whatever the short range spit is), maybe fire whip?

I should have recorded Eygon cause it was so creepy how he vanished. I went to grab the Cathedral of deep bonfire cause I figured he wasn't gonna make it across then I turn around and he's halfway across the bridge running right towards me. As soon as he got close, boop. Gone.

I just uploaded the firelink dog attack. You can see I had no idea it was coming. I was just writing a message for bestwife Yuria, start walking away and nearly get mauled. Also sorry never did webms

Nope. As long as you don't edit character data directly you're basically completely fine.

If you want to item swap stuff you should do it offline and then go online with it because there is no way they can check how you got the item ever because lololol you can find it in the world/other players can drop it for you. As long as it's possible to be picked up that is. For example you can't drop titanite slabs for people or boss souls. Don't do those.
>>
>>162314212
Not that guy, but can you item swap in titanite slabs now that the dlc introduced the one slab that is picked up from a corpse?

>>162314512
NOPE. You'll still get banned. But you CAN turn on "Upgrades cost no materials" in the current general table and it won't take any slabs to upgrade anything.

>>162325767
I like replaying dark souls 2

For Dark souls 1 replays I have to cripple myself to make them fun, otherwise it's always the same path and build because there's only a few early PvE builds that are powerful.

With DS2 you have a lot more variety in how you play because you can hit 40 in one area and get infusions, decent miracles and decent magic all before the first major boss (equivalent of DS1's gargoyles). In DS1 you're sort of locked into the same optimum strategies until you get to Sens or Anor londo, which is halfway through the game.
>>
>>162326693
Definitely dark. It has the strongest and most easily obtained buffs. Enemy resistance is about average.

Fire has the hardest to obtain buff and enemies resist it way more.

Infusion might lower the ruler's sword physical bonus from souls though, so pure physical might be a better option.

>TL;DR: The Champion who's grave is being tended to is an individual in the Chosen Undead's timeline who (in the same way Tsorig pillaged Eleum Loyce and has Raime's sword but isn't the Bearer of the Curse) put down Artorias and saved Sif from the Abyss, befriended the Great Wolves, and showed the Crestfallen what it meant to be courageous. The Crestfallen Warrior of DS1 is the Champion's Gravetender, and the Wolf is either Sif or more likely just a Great Grey Wolf who he befriended as a result of his saving Sif.

Its usually a bad idea because the invader is often either a twink or outskills me vastly so I die in like 4 seconds anyway, but it seems like the polite thing to do. Also fights are more fun 1v1 anway.

The part about the champion I get. The CU didn’t HAVE to be the one to go back in time to kill Artorias. Not even that, the one to kill him didn’t HAVE to go back in time, he could be someone else from that timeline. Oolacile wouldn’t have been completely cut off, we only can’t go anywhere else for the reason we can’t visit the rest of the burg or go down to the town under Firelink. But the part about Crestfallen donning the the dark mask, losing the pants and gloves and most importantly using a non-parry shield is just too far-fetched
>>
>>162330412
I'd agree if it wasn't for the fact that he literally is the only character that wears chain mail and literally does end up in New Londo. I can't think of any better indicators for a boss with as little text based lore as the grave duo.

Doing some fun math:

AR necessary to do the same damage with a +10 weapon (asuming 40 in any stat it scales with), lower is better:

E = Elemental (Buff+Infusion+Clutch/Rob/Flynn)
P = Pure physical (Resin+Clutch/Rob/Flynn/SacredOath)

Defense is Physical/Elemental

224: E vs 400/200 Defense
252: E vs 800/200 Defense
279: E vs 1200/200 Defense
296: P vs 400/200 Defense
296: E vs 400/400 Defense
307: P vs 400/400 Defense
320: P vs 400//600 Defense
328: E vs 800/400 Defense
334: P vs 800/200 Defense
347: P vs 800/400 Defense
360: E vs 1200/400 Defense
360: P vs 800/200 Defense
374: P vs 1200/200 Defense
387: P vs 1200/400 Defense
399: E vs 400/600 Defense
400: P vs 1200/600 Defense
438: E vs 800/600 Defense
477: E vs 1200/600 Defense

Elemental vs tanks: 477 AR needed to do the same damage
Elemental vs twinks: 224 AR needed to do the same damage

Physical vs tanks: 400 AR needed to do the same damage
Physical vs twinks: 294 AR needed to do the same damage

Drop your faith to 60 and just spice down your splintering lightning spear
Raise Int to 10 so you can get some actual magic and dark resistance. A paladin should be resistant to the powers of the dark.
Drop Adpt down to 100 agility or 96/92 and put the points into some more health.

Swap rest rust sword for a lightning heide sword or a heide lance. That will free up more that are being wasted on dex/str right now.

Lightning clutch ring instead of stone ring. It will boost all your damage by ~10-20% which matters more than that little bit of poise break.

I've got two places to go through (The Gutter, Brightstone Cove Tseldora) and i'm kinda tired of them.
I've done the stuff in Lost Bastille and killed the Old Dragonrider.
Is there anything else I could do?
And where can I find a poison stone?
>>
>>162334423
check out the majula rotunda (the stairs down next to the cat's house), there should be someone there if you killed the dragonRIDER (There is also an old dragonSLAYER but he's optional and doesn't advance the progression)

Try checking around majula for an npc who can unlock a path for you. This will lead to some new levels.

If you're at 1m soul memory, just go to Drangleic castle or the DLC.

Poison stone: set the windmill on fire in earthen peak, it's at the bottom of the pool right before the boss.
>>
>>162335104
Definitely not miyazaki's work. They hired a bunch of new designers and developers for DS3 so It's probably whatever team is working on the bosses now that came up with the transition.

Miyazaki's influence is basically just proposing ideas, approving concept sketches, and maybe contributing a little level design. The rest is done by other people for him to approve before making it into the game.
>>
>>162335575
>Definitely not miyazaki's work
This started back in DS1 with Orny and Smuph and was all over BB so it's certainly his work.

Yes, you can.

Loyce souls have a weird drop rate. They drop commonly during the Burnt Ivory King, but ONLY if you have summoned players online to help you.

If you play solo or offline they drop extremely rarely, maybe the rarest item drop in the game.

After beating the ivory king, they continue to drop rarely no matter what.

So the best way to farm them is to summon/get summoned to someone fighting the ivory king, then have them deliberately kill themselves before ending the fight. Do this and you can farm 50 pretty quickly.

I've gotten up to the Twin Princes on my starting blind playthrough and stalling out. i hate my build, invasions are not fun anymore, and I think I missed a ton of side content (I only saw Siegward and that guy in the fancy armor once, and never even found a pyromancy trainer. Greirat vanished. Sirris fucked off as soon as I joined the Fingers of Rosaria...which was a single conversation)

How far am I from the end? Should I start over (this time with tiny bit of guide use just so I don't fuck myself out of most side content?) and a better build, or should I just soldier on?
>>
>>162337331

Also what is an ember? How does it differ from humanity or souls? I don't get the 2deep lore.
>>
>>162337742
If you hate your build you could always respec at rosaria.
You're at the very end of the game. Twin Princes is technically the second-last boss
You've probably missed out on the hidden areas, I'd leave that for a new playthrough. There's a pyromancy trainer in undead settlement, if greirat's been gone for more than a boss fight he's dead, you can look for his ashes in whereever you sent him. As for Siegward, you should probably look for him around the cleansing chapel.

In all honesty since there's not much left in the game for you, I'd just stick to beating it and then starting a new playthrough with emphasis on exploration and taking care not to mess up with npcs.
>>
>>162338063
>If you hate your build you could always respec at rosaria.
Yeah but it's kind of a theme character. Sort of. I'd rather just make a new one. Honestly full overhauls at a respec always felt like cheating to me. I know it's not, but I have trouble making myself do it.
>I'd just stick to beating it and then starting a new playthrough with emphasis on exploration and taking care not to mess up with npcs.
I tried to explore as much as I could but I've always sucked at exploring 3d labyrinths. I didn't know about the Fire Keeper Soul in Blight Town until my fourth playthrough. The NPC requiements are often downright esoteric and while I'm ok with not getting optimal outcomes without huge luck or a guide, it sucks just not progressing them at all.

Thanks for the advice.

>>162338309
Wait are there optional areas besides the lake and the Demon Ruins? Because I did find those.
>>
>>162338362
Yes. There's the Consumed King's Garden, which you can get to by going left after climbing up the ladder at Dancer's bonfire.
There's a gesture you can find after the boss there. Use that gesture in a certain spot in Irithyll Dungeon and you'll be sent to another secret area.
>>
>>162338309
>>162338362
There's two more hidden optional areas in the game, one of them is technically in plain sight but the way to get there is not too straightforward. The other area is hidden behind an invisible wall.
>>
>>162338530
>Yes. There's the Consumed King's Garden,
I did that too. He was really easy but neat. Was confused about him but the cut cntent explained a lot.

I had no fucking clue about that.
>>
>>162338530
>Use that gesture in a certain spot in Irithyll Dungeon and you'll be sent to another secret area.
Wait...the path of the dragon gesture? I bet I have to do that at the Dragonoid corpse in a meditative pose at Irithyll. I'd wondered what the deal with that was.

Imagine you're pressing l1 the same time the opponent is pressing r1. Just que it up immediately against a great sword. Against straight swords/curved swords the 3 hit parry tech is iffy and latency based. Against katanas, axes, thrust swords, it's reliable.

You should really go up to SL36 +4 if you want to do low level PvP, where it becomes relatively balanced between twinkers and co-opers and you have a lot of places to invade. In the 20's you're going to be invading a lot of people who literally just started the game most of the time and it'll get boring except for maybe trolling people with a poison build since people don't get to buy purple moss until they get paladin's ashes from cathedral of the deep.

I don't get why people like AotA so much. Granted the bosses and fashion are great, but the areas are super short with nothing to explore and the weapons/spells don't expand playstyles. With AoA it's the wost of the bunch.

what's the point of grape invasions anyways? seems like at best it's just like being a regular invader and at worst you get sent home early, essentially punished for killing phantoms?

i guess you take up a separate invasion slot though right? so maybe it's good to do to help out my fellow invaders? i just won like 10 invasions in a row on my low level invader to get bloodlust and im trying to decide whether it's worth still doing or not.

I ask for coop partners in /dsg/ all the time, and its not because I think the game is hard, its just a lot more comfy to go through the levels with a buddy. Especially from here, cause I have nothing but good experiences from you guys.

I have also played through the game up until Boreal Valley about 30 or 40 times, without exaggerating even, so I can cheese the first half of this game however the fuck much I want. I've earned my badges of merit.

Tomb of the Giants and Nito are the best of the four. New Londo is inoffensive as an area, but 4kings are pretty low-tier. Nowhere near Bed of Chaos of course, but still, they aren't really anything more than a DPS check, and their arena is literally nothing.

It works thematically, New Londo as a whole is definitely strong that way. There's just nothing to say about it mechanically.

The darkness is great though, because it forces you to stop relying on a shield if you didn't invest in Int for Cast Light. It's the only area in the game where you can't just shieldtank everything.

>>162352031
The Butterfly will eventually get tired and stop flying to eat the moss on the wall. That's when you attack it.
The gate will open once you ring the second bell. Go back to the bridge where Solaire was, by now you should have the key for the locked door there.
>>
>>162351912
new londo can technically be cleared as a second area. but you're not really supposed to go there before the first half of the game, unless you want the excellent loot and know where to find it. save it for after you deal with the other londo
>>162352031
either use ranged spells/consumables/weapons or dodge the attacks, eventually it will land.
>>162351289
upgrade your weapons. seriously, that is the single most important thing you will do in your playthrough. make sure to go there from the firelink bonfire for 10 estus. if you can't do it, go human, summon solaire, sit back and let the AI carry your shitter ass through the first "casual check" boss, you fucking casual queer

The higher the AR, the bigger the benefit. It's best on weapons that gain a one-shot combo from it.

Otherwise fast weapons that will deal 350 damage per swing after the buff, so you will only need 2 R1 combos to kill everyone in the arena.

Also around 1k in BB and like 200 in DeS i guess.

You can use it to make a spear or a shield later in the game. The spear does pure magic damage, which is nice for INT builds, and the shield has great magic resistance.
>>
>>162349824
I think you're underestimating them imo, at least low level pepople. They might be alts for experienced players though.

Most of the time I try to use Vestiges in PvP around SL 50 in Irithyll they dodge it and only get some chip damage from the flying AoE.

I never use spears or shields so i'll use the soul. I only ever use normal sized swords, maces and aexs etc in these games. I prefer not to use over the top big weapons, not that spears and shields fit that bill. Just a weird preference.

How am I supposed to know when it comes to the other boss souls? I also don't do pvp so I don't really care about getting weapons towards the very end of the game.

you can aggro them with ranged weapons. they will either rush you or stand still and reduce your hp. if they stand still, aggro the other one, if they run towards you, you can sprint diagonally to your right and around them, their attack will miss and you can backstab them. you can kill those who stand still with ranged weapons or run to them and around them and backstab. charged R2s with most weapons send them flying. you can also release the lucanthrope from the sell and try to make him fight the jailers, i don't know how well that works though, you can probably move him around with Alluring Skulls

Your first Souls game will always stick with you like that though.

Go ahead and ask anyone. My first one was DaS1, and then I played DeS shortly after finishing DaS.

Nothing has ever quite beat that first playthrough of Dark Souls in terms of vidya experiences. I'm sure its the same for people who both played DeS, DaS 2, BB, and 3 as their first.

I'll get a PS4 and play BB eventually, but I'm waiting for all the current console gen bullshit and prices to settle.
>>
>>162351289
>Completed DS2 and 3 but thinks DS1 bosses are hard

They're gimmicky. The gargoyles are meant to be fought 2v2, unhollow and summon the NPC shade to help you. You can cheese every boss in DS1 this way, and some bosses can be taken down entirely by the NPCs.

Moonlight butterfly is optional, but just bring a shield with high magic defense, you can block every single one of their attacks. You can use the grass crest shield (obtained in the garden after you get the crest of artorias)

The game isn't harder than the others, just requires more gimmicks and planning to beat the bosses. Once you figure it out, it's piss-easy. Taurus Demon and Asylum demon both lose ~30-40% of their health if you do a drop-down attack on them, for example, which the game prompts you to do by giving you obvious access to these ledges.

Skeleton path is deliberately meant to be too hard and block you off, yeah.

The game doesn't start being "hard" until you get to the Capra demon, which is basically a normal DS2/3 boss except you are locked in a tiny room with them with no place to roll.

I've heard that dog several times while running past that corridor. I think its the one spawning outside that got glitched.

Something similar can be seen in the sewers in Undead Settlement. Beyond the gate unlocked by the Grave Key there is a corridor with an ambush by two resting skeletons.

This corridor often spawns a random set of the enemies that are supposed to spawn above near the bridge leading to the Undead Church. An undead with a four-pronged-plow, an undead with a wooden mallet, a dog, or a set of any of the above has a chance to randomly spawn in that sewer tunnel leading to Irina of Carim.

Probably the same symptom that caused your glitch as well.

>>162357997
Well the first two were easy and the butterfly was annoying at first. I think it mostly comes down to the clunky movement. I'm much better at fast paced games. The more aggressive something is towards me the better I am. Everything feels slow mo and off so far on this and I jump to early etc. I'm geting the hang of it now though.

>>
>>162357645
To be honest, I wasn't that into dark souls and was just playing it until DS2. While DS1 is a memorable experience, I didn't get enthusiastic until DS2 because of the much larger array of possible builds and customization you could do. I also didn't play DS1 until after DS2 came out so there wasn't a huge need to stick with DS1.

I did one quality, one dex, and one strength run through DS1, and then started a bunch of half-assed attempts to replay but always stopped around Ornstein. Did the DLC, went back and did it again later, and I haven't done much more since.
>>
>>162357645
>Your first Souls game will always stick with you like that though.

Oh I agree. It's like that with most things really. I think I just got lucky not caring about souls games early on when I was fixated on FPS multiplayer like a pleb throughout my late teens. I genuinely love the style of bloodborne though and that's what made me buy it. after a few hours playing time I knew I was going to buy ds2 on the ps4 store immediately. I'm now a souls fiend, partly because I'm 28 and I can't stand most games anymore, or have time for them.

Why do you even bother making content, when it's not even impressive or fun to look at. It's just stale material you keep rehashing over and over again.
>>
>>162358274
My memory is fuzzy, but isn't that pathway only accessible after you open the crest of artorias door?

>>162357797
In either case, you can go down and beat the mini boss down that path where the grass crest shield is, also, though I would recommend it. Farming souls for the crest of artorias is pretty easy if you also need to do some practice. You can also revisit the undead asylum (though I wouldn't recommend trying to finish that area and beat the boss yet) for a bunch of goodies, including the crest shield which also has excellent magic blocking.

Equip blood lust, use it's WA, the hard swap to another weapon as soon as you can. It's actually really easy to do, gives you +30% AR for 45 seconds. Just make sure the weapon you want to buff is right next to the bloodlust in your menu so you can switch to it quickly.

You don't need to meet the stat requirements of the bloodlust to use it's WA and get the buff. Just gotta get 10 vertebrae shackles which is why I did a bunch of gRape invasions last night for it.

that's simple, there's just no much variety in BB. Yes you can change your weapon, but the playstyle will be exactly the same.
About des, it's not so great once you already finished it, because you already know what do to, and most bosses are about discovering their weakness and exploiting it.

Endurance increases your maximum equipment burden. If you can, you should kill Havel to get his ring, it allows you to carry 50% more.

If you want to play VD online, you have to play on the JP server or you have to actually be active in the community and make online friends.

If you're adding friends and participating in chat rooms you can get pvp matches by just inviting people to your rooms. I regularly get 4-8 people going on in a single room at least once every week or two, and I can get a 1v1 most hours of the day.

If you're one of the brats that needs conquest campaign to feel important, then JP server is for you, just be prepared to lose every match against the same 3-4 squad formations because you don't have friends, or be prepared to sit for hours

VD's matchmaking is shit but if you network yourself the game's PvP is god-tier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxHcwvG-uT4

Shit like this makes Dark Souls pvp silly by comparison, to me.
>>
>>162359443
I always upgrade endurance of course but I didn't even realize that it increases maximum equipment. It doesnt help that I play these games nearly exclusively when I'm drinking lol. I pay attention to the small details but not really with stats as I always level up health, endurance and strength on these games, might seem boring I know but I never summon for help or farm for the skae of getting stronger.

Oh and if you're on 360? Get fucked. Most 360 players I know ended up buying a PS3 just to play on an active server. VD's 360 server has been dead for 2 years because it sold so few actual copies on Xbox.

Multiplayer AC games have always been dead matchmaking wise. The franchise has never been popular for live online. The only way to get consistent activity is to embed yourself in its incredibly, doggedly dedicated fanbase and network with them. You end up playing with the same 20-some people over and over, but the game's are so good mechanically that if you enjoy them, it's definitely worth the effort.

I disavowed the series after the trainwreck that was V's western release, but VD was apparently really good
>>
>>162360204
JP server is overrated. The problem is while it's more active, players try too hard to win and that means not going into battle unless they have a full 4 man team, refusing to hire mercs they don't know personally, and abusing the few OP techniques with the same strategies in every competitive match.

NA server is much more interesting because people still care more about playing the game rather than winning.

Hey, I'm the guy you replied to and I've never gotten past beating O&S, Iron Keep, or Lothric castle, yet I've still put in well over 200 hours into every game simply from starting new games over and over and approaching the first half of each game in several different ways with different builds.

Its mainly because of OCD and indecisiveness but at least I am having fun. This is why coop is a big part of the game for me. It makes every runthrough of every area unique.

I mean, the single player campaign was abysmal, but it's not like anyone was expecting much after V's.

But the multiplayer was GOAT.

P-P-P-PC MASTER RACE!
>>
>>162360275
AC4 and 4A were actually pretty equally active on the xbox and ps3. Main reason being that the 360 controller was objectively better for some of the essential pvp mechanics of that game. I suppose the difference probably isn't still around for VD though.
>>
>>162360330
VD is the idealized version of V. It's so good that people are still doing frequent tournaments for it. It's balanced, no graphic/crashing issues, etc.It's single player is also the fucking best since the PS2 era.

The ONLY issue, and I mean only issue, is that too few people bought it.

The hardcore mode (8 different 'hard modes' to single player) is worth playing even if you don't go online though. The AI customization could be it's own fucking game, it's that good. About 30% of the weapons are pvp viable, with under 10 of them being powerful enough to be considered an absolute advantage.
>>
>>162360416
VD's singleplayer wasn't that bad, but the hardcore mode more than makes up for any mediocre single player. Like all AC games, hard mode is the 'real' game. Treat the main campaign as a tutorial for Hardcore Mode and the single player is fantastic.
>>
>>162360623
>It's so good that people are still doing frequent tournaments for it.
To be honest, people are still doing tournaments for 4A. When 4A was new, people were still doing LR tournaments.

It speaks more to the dedication of the fanbase than the quality of the games. Some people literally never let them go.
>>
>>162360565
Also because Sega HEAVILY marketed AC4 for Xbox, I think it was even included in some console boxes and bundles. That meant more people picked up FA for 360 too.
>>
>>162358762
it's accessible from valley of drakes, from andre's basement, from havel's tower and from 2 points in the darkroot forest
>>
>>162360450
AC would make no sense on PC unless they heavily nerfed the mechanics and slowed it down. It needs progressive triggers and multiple analog sticks, which you just can't do on a PC and even most PC controllers don't support.
>>
>>162360860
It also had a downloadable demo on the 360's digital store back when that was a new and novel thing.

I still can't imagine how people even play AC4 on the PS3 with no 2nd-staging. That was such a big part of the game.
>>
does bloodlust buff and dorkmoon blade stack?
>>
>>162361003
2nd staging on a PS3 controller is pretty easy, just takes more practice. I also know people who did trigger mods on their controllers to make it more easy. The higher amount of skilled players you met on PS3 outweighed the cost of the controllers.

Honestly, V's atmosphere reminds me so much more of AC3/Silent Line. 4 and For Answer stick out to me as the weird ones.

VD is closer to AC2:AA where you have a bunch of unconnected, unrelated missions available but there's a few plot elements and lore spread throughout.

The story of VD is good, it's just too simple for a full game. V's atmosphere was great but it's story was a convoluted, badly mistranslated mess.

VD's story is pretty beautiful actually.
"100 years after the most powerful AC pilot in history, the Dark Raven, was unleashed on the world, an AI organization put together a plan to prevent it from ever happening again. They hoarded all the advanced technology from the ancient age, and used it to augment themselves in exchange for being forced to fight any future "Dark Raven".

They called themselves Reaper Squad. Your operator, Maggy (Blue Magnolia) barely survived her encounter with the Reapers, leaving her crippled. As you progress, trained by her, your power grows strong enough that the Reaper Squad takes note, and they begin pitting you against every pilot and their special weapons, testing your strength, hoping that you will learn to join them. In the end, they accept Blue Magnolia, who turns out was a Dark Raven candidate of her own, into their squad.

Now for you to survive, you will have to destroy the Reapers, destroy their technology, destroy EVERYTHING and become the next Dark Raven, ending the 100 years of peace to begin a new era of freedom, the last surviving Raven on the planet."

When you actually look at the story, it's great. It's got the best elements of Last Raven, For Answer, and Silent Line all rolled up into one. It was just not told very well, unfortunately, probably because of budget limits for voice acting and what they could add into the mission briefings.

AC games are full of shit like this.

In ACFA you can boost the velocity of your bullets and missiles by timing your shots with your quickboost.

In ACVD you can equip a large ultimate weapon to increase the size of your mech's hitbox, so that when you do melee attacks they have a wider / longer reach.

In ACLR you could Overboost-cancel your back cannons, letting you move while reloading them and only have to stop to fire. Rail cannon charge up delay also meant you could fire them while flying if you use a quad, as long as you started the attack animation while on the ground.

In AC2 you could unlock special human plus abilities by letting your credits reach -50000, triggering a new game mode.

In most PS2 era games, if you timed your blade animation with overboost, you could extend your blade hitbox across an entire length of area you were OBing.

In V you could scan-mode cancel your laser weapon charge up so that it didn't auto-fire.

And these are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. God knows what other exploits and techniques have been discovered.

I was just being an asshole, also thought you were talking about Dark souls.
Love armored core as well however, been playing sense day 1 but had issues with almost all of the PS2 version, PSP was interesting but not very armored core with the whole AI thing.
With that said, Arguably, PC would be extremely easy to do, or jut say "plays best with a controller, you can use an Xbox one controller or even PS4 controller now.
Aim with mouse,switch with hotkey /mouse button boost with shift etc.
Could even go full on using the number row to manually switch weapons to specific weapons rather than cycling.
It always strikes me as weird how little grip people have with designing keyboard control's after so many years, especially the Japanese but it make sense because they don't really play much on them.

There's a few gameplay videos of people using KB+M. It's... not easy. And while it is possible to play through the game without using a controller, it's laughably inefficient and the learning curve is extremely steep. You'd be terrible against a human using that setup.

This was a thing from all the way back in AC1. I think it only stopped being a thing in AC3 and Silent Line, which used OP Intensify instead. And then from Nexus onwards this cheat mode became AI exclusive, notable in Last Raven where a bunch of the enemy ACs do dumb shit like flying around shooting back-mounted laser cannons.

The reaper squad thing was straight lifted directly from CH, as was the plot twist that your operator betrayed you and joined them.

I much preferred toe storylines of 4 and 4A to V and VD, partially because the subtlety in the former was really interesting and partially because having the bad guys be literal Isreali zionists made them much easier to hate.

ACV and VD have drift turning too, and it's even better and more practical since ground based combat is more common.

ACVD also has minor targeting/angling capabilities with hitboxes so you could actually angle your melee attacks. There's also a few shield exploits that let you glide boost without being knocked into stagger if you get hit.

Eh, That's usually because of the baked in control system.
For instance, playing a game in an emulator with a keyboard and mouse VS playing a good port of the game directly on the heard wear.
I cant imagine trying to use a keyboard and mouse with a base system designed for a controller, however games like Hawken work just fine or better because it's easier to aim.
The only place a controller can honestly say it's better is fighting games(arcade sticks) and driving(wheels? I'm not into driving games so No personal experience).
Again, the main issue is stuff like having a system that maps multiple commands or button combinations that are meant for a controller.

Drift turning was an actual mechanic, it was only "pvp tech" in the 4 series because the netcode didn't know how to process a drift turn, and it could force desyncs at will. When the game resynced, you'd teleport on their client and were typically invincible while desynced. It was basically the only thing that allowed lightweights to deal with wilsoning heavy midweights.

The main issue is entirely the progressiveness of the buttons. KB+M is only "on" or "off" for its press. If you need to be progressive you have to tap press rapidly. But with AC, the game changes depending on how hard you press certain buttons (particularly with melee and movement) so that's not a viable option. You need smoothness to be good at AC and that's just not possible with a KB+M, which is designed for twitchiness.

On top of that turning speed is limited in AC games, which makes mouse movement for aiming extremely unintuitive.

The same is true with racing games, where you need to slowly apply brake or throttle and not suddenly shift it from one to another, or else you slow down.

Because people used it for hotswapping which fromsoft wanted to discourage.

When EVERY parry is a quick swap into a crystal greatclub for an instantkill hornetriposte, there's something wrong. DaS1 gave no reason to ever not hotswap because inventory sorting encouraged it.

Instead, 2 and 3 balanced it by having the inventory organized by default in a way that's conducive to some swapping (like swapping to silvercat in 3) but not in excess

Usually PC games use a hard switch system for variables.
Forward [W]
Forward Fast [Shift+W]
Forward Slow[Alt+W]
Boost [Shift+Control+W] (because there is no prone ctrl could be used)
Aiming.. think 3'rd/first person shooters, tank cannons or turrets.
You'd have people shooting even rockets with a precision that would be outright unfair to a controller user.

What are some stylish PvP movesets for DS2? Also, what weapons have really wide angle aiming?

I'm putting together some PvP builds and I want some satisfying combo/flashy moves that aren't total ass in PVP.

So far I'm enjoying:
Drakekeeper's Greataxe + Greatshield (R1s are godly for punishing)
Powerstance Warped Sword + Katana
Drakekeeper's Greataxe + Drakekeeper's Greatsword (R1 for 360 tracking spam, L1 for horizontal dead angling, both faster than their normal counteparts, 2H greatsword for thrusts)
Bastard Sword and Claymore (2H bastard sword for roll attacks and stylish R2 combos, then have claymore for L2 thrusts)

What other ideas do you guys have? I'm trying to go for some overwhelming / heavy brawler type of playstyles with an emphasis on combos.

It's like a mixture of both, desu. Upgrade types are ripped straight out of DeS, but it operates on simplified rules that DaS2 brought (regular weapons going up to 10, upgraded with the type of titanite and amount of it etc).

This is exactly how From Soft works.

Anything that is hard to obtain or available in late game is made more powerful in its class or has the weaknesses of other weapons removed. This includes DLC items.

They balance their games based on how they expect a new player to experience it for the first time, so they constantly add a lot of "oh wow!" discovery weapons.They ONLY patch weapons when it seems like they're so strong that they make experiences for new players bad.

I also hate how they literally shat on build diversity.

The ONLY builds viable in high-level competitive PvP are either quality, or with a focus on ONE specific magic class, or an otherwise highly specialized character in a few specific stats.

There is no longer any leeway for combining different aspects and creating hybrid builds like before. On top of that, basically the whole PvE experienced is designed with Bloodborne-paced combat in mind, requiring basically the same playstyle despite what build you run.

>>162369581
Meta is decided based on whatever is the minumal SL that allows full builds, any melee build gets everything they need at 120.
What is important to realise is that mist metafags play melee builds amd 3 is made in a way casters can't match them at those SLs.
This is a problem with the game, since it lacks a good SL to make a meta and with the trend setters, since they hardly try those other PvP methods.
